Phantom Scarecrows

Module TypeStand Alone

Compatible MC Versions1.13

Details

A Phantom Scarecrow can be created by placing a skeleton, wither skeleton, or zombie skull on an armour stand and a chest plate with a curse enchantment (Vanishing or Binding).

When a phantom is in range, the Phantom Scarecrow will release a projectile that searches for the nearest phantom, explodes and kills it. Explosion damage from the projectile also damages nearby phantoms and other entities. If a phantom is detected, a projectile will spawn above the scarecrow and will move towards the closest phantom. If the projectile hits a block on its path to the phantom, the projectile will explode.

Technical Summary

When the firework explodes, a random colour is chosen.

When the Phantom Scarecrow is created, all slots are locked to prevent interaction.

The scarecrow shoots a projectile every 4 seconds. The projectile moves at 16 blocks per second.
